Quick question: on what grounds is Assange being held at Belmarsh?

he's fighting extradition to the US, in January it was ruled he can't be extradited due to his mental state, but the US is allowed to appeal (and they are) and he must stay put whilst that happens.

£177k plus, so far though. Celebrity 'fight for justice', normal people get refused legal aid, but with a few famous friends and a public profile, you can crowdfund the lot. Gotta love a meritocracy.

is a request for extradition enough to be imprisoned?
ive tried googling, i genuinely don't know the answer on what grounds he's currently locked up
He's got form for absconding.

He's skipped bail and hid in a cupboard for seven years, guess that kind of behaviour will safely see you denied bail.

Denied bail from what current charge though? Is the UK state prosecuting him?

Extradition request from the US. When one is served you get held if the UK government decides to accept it, if they do you have the right to go straight to the US or to fight it, if you fight it the UK government can bail you, with conditions that you hand over passport, put up a surety etc., or they can remand you in custody. They bailed him before with a surety (put up by many people) and he fled to the Ecuadorian embassy and AFAIK his backers lost a lump of dough over it.

Bring back hanging
He won the extradition request. He's now being held during US appeal. God knows what ska googled not to be able to find this. Chelsea goal vs RM or something maybe.
Do you honestly believe there is no law in play here and they are just keeping him in jail in a extrajudicial way? Just for lulz and just because he's Assange?

Yeah, but it ain't over until it's over. I think this is Uncle Sam's last shot at him though.
Probably just wishing not to sully his search history with the word 'Assange'.

Fucking hell, anyone got some microscopic violins handy? Julian Assange supporters ordered to forfeit £93,500 bail money
Professor David is a pensioner and the sum of £20,000 comprises a substantial portion of her savings jointly with her husband," he ruled.
"Sarah Saunders has also provided details of her financial position and I am satisfied that she is of comparatively limited means. Mr Vaughan Smith tells me that if he forfeits the £20,000 surety it will have a significant impact on the welfare of his family and his employees."
Smith said he was disappointed at the ruling and felt the sureties were being punished despite providing "a public service" in ensuring Assange met his bail conditions for 18 months until he entered the Ecuadorean embassy.
"We feel we've done our bit, but the ball has moved into another court now," he said. "We feel there are many in this country who are sympathetic."
He said he would have to borrow the money. "I rely on an income from a farm and from my journalism and I don't have £12,000 sitting in the bank," he said.
It is understood that a separate group of Assange supporters, thought to include the film-maker Ken Loach, the writer and campaigner Jemima Khan, the journalist John Pilger and the magazine publisher Felix Dennis have already forfeited bail cash worth £200,000 following a court order earlier this year.
